Every day without fail for almost 50 days now, workers from all over the country gather at Jantar Mantar, singing songs of unity. Since Feb 2023, MNERGA workers from different states are coming to Delhi and protesting about a series of new policies that they believe will cut off the benefits of MNREGA in a significant way. 



In this episode, Sneha Richhariya goes to Jantar Mantar to speak to the protesting workers, activists, lawyers, and a tech researcher on how the Digital app-based attendance and aadhaar based payments that have been made mandatory for MGNREGA workers, are threatening the survival of the scheme on the ground. The episode also highlights a double whammy of the severe union budget cuts and a bad administrative run down.
